This seems like a somewhat fortunate matchup given the time of the year. Both teams have seen a number of their best players go down at times this season, and both have had very disappointing seasons. My ASSumption is that after the beatdown on Thanksgiving that the coaches will change something, anything, to make a difference. If you need to stop a losing streak the Falcons seem like a pretty good way to try.

I think this is THE game where the players have to reach deep and show what they are made of. The Lions game was such a debacle from a lack of pride and lack of intensity standpoint that this next game must prove to themselves and everyone that they are made of more than that and go out and do it.

I'm not talking about backs against the wall playoff picture-wise. I'm talking every player looking in the mirror and challenging themselves.

Win or lose, whatever. Just don't put what they put out on that field against Detroit. I can't back that and I know no one here can either.That was a buffalo stampede on both sides of the ball and was sickening to watch.

I know the yak about the calls and the coaches, and it looked like the Lions knew what we were going to do. Well, duh, with such lack of effort, pride, or, intensity as they showed it's going to look like that.

Time, to a man, to step up and go to war and not just go out and be slaughtered.

No internal discussions about shutting Aaron Rodgers down, and when he's cleared to play, he will. Tomorrow Matt Flynn will take starter reps.

I was as down on the Pack as anybody last week but I got to thinking about it and I've let off the gas there a little bit.

Not that this team, the D in particular, doesn't have much to prove and it's certainly put up or shut up time.

Last week was a short week having to play on Thursday. Probably couldn't have happened at a worse time. Trying to work in a backup QB and then the problems shuffling the Oline. DLinemen beat up and really needing time to rest and mend.

At a time when the team probably needed the rest and the prep time more than any other time of the season they got the opposite. The perfect storm and Detroit blew out their bow.

Now they get 10 days, more rest, and more prep time. It's do or die but they did get a couple guys back and hopefully the D will unite and respond and Flynn will actually be ready.

I predict a win with Flynn, FINALLY, and a momentum boost that had to come right now. I also predict a Philly win over Detroit and we're right back in the hunt. Our A player will be back from then on and that alone will be enough to pucker the Lions butt holes where they will choke out.

This game will be at Lambeau too, right? Huge factor.

If the D shows up, I like our chances.

“Winning is not a sometime thing, it is an all the time thing. You don't do things right once in a while…you do them right all the time.”

I can't believe I am saying this but I don't have any faith in Flynn and our secondary is to weak. The Falcons actually showed the passing game last week and White is getting healthy. I hope I am wrong but our team just is to soft
